From the Land of Enchantment

Greetings All,
I have a service dog that I am attempting to train myself. He passed therapy dog evaluation so obviously knows basic obedience. I don't think he is sufficiently consistent with all behaviors all the time to do medical service yet. He's also incredibly friendly and I'm not sure that the two activities (medical service=focused on me exclusively and therapy=open to all interactions from others) aren't mutually exclusive. :msniwonder:

I'm still figuring out which disability-related things to teach. I'm hoping to find a forum for this topic. There's a good service dog academy near me, but they are expensive even for owner-trained dogs.

HI! Welcome to the Dog Trick Academy! Wow, that's an awesome avatar you've got there!!! There is actually a service forums although not too many people talk in there. I know that some people on here have trained dogs for service so I am sure that if you seek around, you'll find someone that you might be able to contact personally via the Private Message option. :dogsmile:
